I'm writing a paper in which the king of Corinth, Sisyphus, is a minor character. While rereading, I'm finding that many times when I thought I typed Sisyphus, I really typed Syphilis. That's an understandable mistake, right? - Oh my, livejournal again...I must really be bored out of my mind. - Inexplicably, I have recently been finding spiders ( Read more... )

During the thunderstorm last night, I opened my windows and watched the raindrops try to enter my room, but instead, they continually got caught by the screen. They danced back and forth within the screen as the wind tryed to help them escape, but they were entirely trapped like a mosquito in a spiderweb.

So there's this guy in Russia, Zdzislaw Beksinski, who has really amazing dreams. After he has these dreams, he wakes up and paints the things that he saw. He thinks these dreams are spectacular and the world would be much more beautiful if everything looked like his dreams. Although they are some of the most bleak images I've seen, I personally ( Read more... )

About an hour ago, I ate this soup from Japan called "Nong Shim Bowl Noodle Soup with Kimchi Flavor". There is very little english on this package, but the english that it does have reads "Vegetal". Should I assume that "Vegetal" is supposed to say "Vegetable"? This soup had in it noodles, red stuff, black stuff, and lots of peppers. Has ( Read more... )

It seems appropriate that all of my hiding places were hiding tonight. Where do you go when there's no place for you to go? I went to the library.
